Afaik, no. Mutt search/limits work on the current opened mailbox. What you are trying to achieve is from my perspective a corner case and make me a bit curious about it. Currently, I cannot think of a situation where the Date Header is the only piece of information available to search for a specific email; also in a strict string and not like on Tue three weeks ago. Keep in mind, the Date field is set by the sender [0]. I am not sure which instance actually adds it, mutt (as MUA) or sendmail (as MTA). 0: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2822#section-3.6.1 Anyways, just because I cannot imagine the situation, does not mean there isn't one. From what I understood so far, I would have solved that with `grep -r`, too. Mutt and the mail indexers I am familiar with do not seem to provide what you are asking for. Cheers, -- Bastian
